Milos Kerkez has become a target for Liverpool after his solid displays for Bournemouth this season and the Hungary International has spoken about speculation around his future
Liverpool Target Milos Kerkez has admitted that he was flattered by stories that connect him with big clubs and revealed that he is speaking with Reds Star and Hungary fellow countryman Dominik Szoboszlai “every other day”. Kerkez is an important target for Liverpool this summer, because they want to add competition to Left-back besides Andy Robertson.
Kerkez runs attention to the Premier League after an excellent season under Baas Andoni Iraola. He started all 38 games in the competition and produced two goals and five assists.
It has now been talked that he could move to Anfield in the summer, because Arne Slot seems to be upgrading his team and they wanted to control their Premier League title next season.
Kerkez has suggested by an exit from the Vitality Stadium after a cryptic post on his Instagram account: “I don't know what will happen [the] Next week but the Cherries family thank you! “
He has now opened his future by admitting that he is aware of speculation and said it was something that motivated him to keep improving as a player.
“Of course something always leaks in the news,” Kerkez told MLSZ TV. “I don't know how. At the same time I think it's normal that if you play well and the team is doing well, you are in the news and end up on the front page, and everyone talks about you.
“I see this as fuel that drives me ahead. All this does not break me, but the 'boost' also my ego does not, but it teaches me humility and motivates me.”
Kerkez also spoke about his friendship with Liverpool -midfielder Szoboszlai, with whom he said he spoke almost every day after a meeting in the design of Hungary.
“We met when I first came to the national team and we spoke German because I didn't dare to speak Hungarian. He switched to German and accepted me,” he said.
“From that moment on we spoke every day and get to know each other better. We are still very close, we write each other or call each other every other day, we talk about many things.
“It feels good to have a friend who always answers the phone. When you call him, he answers and does not stop his mobile.”
Liverpool has already been reinforced this summer in the defense on the opposite flank after he has brought in right back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, while the club also strives to sign Florian Wirtz from the same club.
